Resumen

Este número especial aboga por un examen crítico de los fundamentos epistemológicos de las diferentes configuraciones del pluralismo jurídico, en particular el pluralismo jurídico «clásico» basado en la cultura o las costumbres. Aborda los legados conceptuales coloniales y las dependencias históricas para promover la “desobediencia epistemológica” y la descolonización sociopolítica. Las contribuciones individuales destacan y cuestionan la rigidez de las identidades colectivas arraigadas en lógicas binarias que se remontan a la Ilustración europea, así como otras dimensiones de la colonialidad incrustadas en los marcos jurídicos hegemónicos modernistas y anglo-eurocéntricos. Descentrando los paradigmas normativos e identitarios dominantes y haciendo hincapié en el compromiso dialógico con diversas racionalidades normativas, las seis contribuciones al número especial examinan el potencial del pluralismo jurídico para fomentar enfoques pluriversales del derecho. Ponen de relieve diversos tipos de interacción entre los órdenes jurídicos plurales e ilustran las distintas dinámicas de poder colonial en diferentes lugares que han continuado hasta la actualidad. En conjunto, abogan por reimaginar el pluralismo jurídico como una herramienta para la emancipación, trascendiendo las epistemologías estatistas (pos)coloniales para avanzar hacia futuros descoloniales y pluriversales.
